Former HMP Wormwood Scrubs governor Vanessa Frake says Jamie Varley is unlikely to gain anonymity in prison despite reportedly changing his name by deed poll to Harry Jae Robb. Varley, who is serving a whole-life sentence for murdering 13-month-old Preston Davey after months of abuse, is expected to remain identifiable to prisoners through news coverage. Frake said the prison would still use the name on his warrant and suggested the name change may have been ineffective. Varley’s boyfriend, John McGowan-Fazakerley, received a 25-year sentence for his role in the abuse.

The family has since retreated from public view following extensive legal action and social services intervention.

Charlotte Mulhall may soon be released from Limerick Prison after meeting parole officials, more than two decades after she and her sister Linda killed and dismembered their mother's partner, Farah Noor, in one of Ireland’s most notorious murder cases.
